The Times They Are A-Changin’: Heterochrony in Plant Development and Evolution
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Alterations in the timing of developmental programs during evolution, that lead to changes in the shape, or size of organs, are known as heterochrony. Heterochrony has been widely studied in animals, but has often been neglected in plants.

Decision-making in plants under competition
Nature Communications, 2017 Plants may respond to light competition by growing upwards, via physiological changes that maximise performance under low light, or by growing laterally. Here Gruntman et al.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Plants have evolved various defense mechanisms to cope with biotic and abiotic stresses. Cooperation with microorganisms, especially arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), strengthens the defense capabilities of host plants.

Ethylene, ACC, and the Plant Growth-Promoting Enzyme ACC Deaminase
Biology, 2023 Here, a brief summary of the biosynthesis of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) and ethylene in plants, as well as overviews of how ACC and ethylene act as signaling molecules in plants, is presented.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Jasmonate ZIM-domain (JAZ) proteins are the key repressors of the jasmonic acid (JA) signal transduction pathway and play a crucial role in stress-related defense, phytohormone crosstalk and modulation of the growth-defense tradeoff.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 We take advantage of synteny blocks, the analytical construct enabled at the evolutionary moment of speciation or polyploidization, to follow the independent loss of duplicate genes in two sister species or the loss through fractionation of syntenic ...

Welwitschia: Phylogeography of a living fossil, diversified within a desert refuge
Scientific Reports, 2021 Welwitschia mirabilis is one of the most extraordinary plant species on earth. With a fossil record of 112 My and phylogenetically isolated within the order Gnetales, the monotypic genus Welwitschia has survived only in the northern Namib Desert in ...

An Intrinsic Geometric Constraint on Morphological Stomatal Traits
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 A strong negative non-linear relationship exists between stomatal density (SD) and size (SS) or length (SL), which is of high importance in gas exchange and plant evolution. However, the cause of this relationship has not been clarified.

Evolutionary radiations in the species-rich mountain genus Saxifraga L.
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017 Background A large number of taxa have undergone evolutionary radiations in mountainous areas, rendering alpine systems particularly suitable to study the extrinsic and intrinsic factors that have shaped diversification patterns in plants.
